Description

From an upgrade on Debian 7 to ncf 1.0.0.201604132224-wheezy1:

Setting up ncf (1.0.0.201604132224-wheezy1) ...

Configuration file `/usr/share/ncf/tree/ncf.conf'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** ncf.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? d

This doesn't make any sense because this is the version in /usr/share, aka the "dist" version. It shouldn't be used in local installs anyway, so we should freely overwrite it.
